If I had to choose between Dallas roster and that of NE, I would serious take Dallas.'

So would most....overall this is. Coaching makes THAT big of a difference, but some owners can see that, and some cant.

Funny, Bob Kraft is very well known, and gets much credit for the success of his team, but that's not enough for Jerry.

We've played 3 backup QBs, and a handful of Elite talent was gone against us. There's just no excuse this year.
And minus the Jets game we’ve been relatively healthy compared to most teams. You’re absolutely correct.

Great job of discussing the OPPOSITE of what everyone is talking about. And sorry if the truth hurts.
nope truth is for every team overcoming injuries with next man up theres another team losing to such teams... thats exactly the narrative as we are allegedly getting beat by short handed teams yet a lot of teams are beating other teams with their backups, not just us losing to them..sorry of your attempt to further troll the site disguised as fan yet 80% of your content is negative..

to add to that narrative this thread was started to troll so we shouldnt lose but if we do its already becoming a see I told you so thread..

however the truth is the Pats have won 20 straight there at home, are 9-1 this year and have the best defense in football so if we do lose to the best team with best coaches, its pretty much the same as the last 20 games before us, they ALL LOST..its not surprise if we lose at all , more of surprise if we win as it would break a 20game home winning streak of theirs..

No, the narrative - which you still fail to grasp - is that other teams show they're capable of overcoming injuries to their players. The Cowboys, under the inferior coaching of Jason Garrett, are not. I hope that's cleared everything up for you.

Sorry for your terrible grasp of the English language. And again that the truth hurts.

So, Brady, Edleman, White Sony Michel and every DB on the team could be out, and it wouldn't matter?

Lets be real - every person that is out makes at least a small difference. As it is, the Pats have lost Gordon and now Sanu at WR, and Antonio Brown got cut. Their WR group being thin doesn't assure a Cowboy win, but it does help.
To our coaches it wouldn't matter......as is evidenced by some of the games this season where the opposing team is missing key players but our coaches fail to take advantage of these situations. Hell we almost lost to driskel and friends because instead of understanding that hes a quick scrambling QB, we just do what we do.

Same thing was said when Thielen was out for the Vikings and they still schooled this terrible defense. This isn't our coaching staff in NE. They will easily adjust and be just fine. Sanu isn't some huge game change, either.
Well....while I agree.....Patriots don’t have Dalvin Cook but they have the ability to run all over us. Everyone does. Only thing that will save us is Brady’s immobility.

My point is, we've been presented favorable matchups all year and have floundered almost every time.

1) Brees is on the bench, and we allowed a kid who hadn't played big time football in years dink and dunk all over us. Kirk Cousins did the same thing without his #1 guy.
2) Aaron Rodgers was throwing to a misfit group of JAGs and we allowed Aaron Jones to look like Barry Sanders and score 4 TDs.
3) Darnold didn't play football for essentially a month and he played in Pro Bowl form against Richard/Marinelli's porous scheme. Hasn't played like that since.
4) Stafford always gives us hell, but he was on the bench and we still allowed Jeff Driskel to score 3 TDs.

There are NO FAVORABLE MATCHUPS in Dallas, because we can't adjust to the man we're playing. If things do not go exactly how Garrett and his team have scripted, it falls on "execution."

Spot on.

But so is the coaching.

The Cowboys as a team have always played less than the sum of it's parts. That falls on Garrett.

Meanwhile, the Patriots always punch above it's weight class.

Excellent point/analogies.

WRONG again!!

RE-read; 80% of the response it clearly states they have yet another key man out and once again we will most likely flounder around and lose..this particular thread isnt about us missing players, its about them missing players and us most likely losing to them.So my assessment is correct,

Many teams this year using backups at key positions have beaten other teams, not just us..Its odd that TB with NO won all 4 or 5 of his games yet look up , they are using this as see its the DC , JG cant win these games.. Odd others didnt beat NO without brees wither. Jaguars won a lot of games without Foles out, Panthers with Cam out, and KC beat who, oh the Viking was it with More off the street for just this game?. you might want to check your eyes, contacts, or glasses Professor..

the chat has been how bad we are not being able to beat teams with key players are out but they act as if its just us..No tis league wide..

sure we dont do well with key Players out but so far thats one game this year that I remember, the JETS..we were missing 4 starters off offense including 2 tackles, thats a lot to overcome..no excuse

but back to this thread...

Ok, overall, if I'm deciphering you correctly, you're nit trying to make excuses for Garrett and this team failing to overcome injuries where others can. In that case, I don't have an issue with you.

But the reverse has been true as well. We have managed to fail to capitalize on other teams when key players were out, all season long. I don't much care if those same teams managed to beat teams besides us. That's a compliment again to their coaching overcoming, not an excuse for us losing.

I think that’s his point as well(at least I hope) and nice respectful counter on your part emphasizing your own point.

And guess what..

1) That guy went and beat 4 other teams other than us
2) Aaron Rodgers beat other teams without his main guy other than us
3)Driskel didnt score 3 TDs he passed for one, and if Stafford played on the 9 plays Driskel ran and extended plays with his legs, they would have been SACKS.

They are still NFL ATHLETES PLAYS ARE GONNA HAPPEN. You guys have to be trolls.

I'm in the area now...Patriot crap all over the place here....making me sick...and the sports radio peeps are about half and half about this game. Cowboys win, Pats win..but they all have the same conclusion....we will lose because of coaching....they believe we have the better team and better talent but coaching will lose it for us.
